    Grilled Octopus
    Lordy W.

    It felt like price gouging. $10 valet or $5 just to park. Bar was reserved, and service was very slow. Sea bass was bland, octopus wasn't great. Cheesecake was the only standout. 20% tip auto-added. You can get the same dishes--better quality--for less at other restaurants in the area. First and last time. Won't be back.

    The place was ok. Nothing fancy. There is valet. Not sure about self serve parking. I made a reservation but there was no one there really around the time I went 630ish on a Saturday. The waitress was nice and all but not as attentive as one could be and doesn't give the personality of an individual that's around people. We had to ask for every refill, no napkins, etc. And the personality portion was just blah...take your order...here's your food...being the check. It's not like you went above and beyond but in some establishments that do automatic gratuity, I've seen the lack of. The food was 'meh'. The hummus had somewhat of an aftertaste unless it was the pita. Wasn't a fan. The rice was very bland and the chicken just okay. Tasted more of the char than seasoning or marinade. We both had kabobs and ended up with upset tummy's later when we left. The sodas were flat. We did have a hookah. It was decent. No coals were moved or changed. Don't know if there is a fee here for add to coals. We left shortly after receiving the food bc it was not that enjoyable. Others per reviews have had better times. Not sure if I'd be back. I'm a sticker for service and the only person who was super courteous was the valet guy...and in addition to the food and I wasn't a fan.

    Lavraki - huge plate of food!
    Robyn F.

    Had never been before but it had great Yelp reviews. A friend was in town and wanted Mediterranean food. I wouldn't say this is a traditional med/greek menu - in fact only a few dishes that would be on other Mediterranean menus. We got there and it was fairly empty. You are forced to valet and pay $5 for it. It's one reason it wasn't five stars. The other is that they serve Hookah all over the restaurant rather than just in one spot - so if the smells and smoke bother you, I'd avoid this restaurant. The portions are large - so don't over order! The hummus was very tasty. My lavraki dish was missing elevated taste. The asparagus was a bit mushy and the sprouts well cooked on the outside but the inside tough. The service was good which is always important.

    Sheppard Salad
    Jazlynn P.

    I frequent Atlanta a lot and always pass by this spot because my friend lives nearby so I decided to stop there after a day of shopping by myself. I decided to sit in the patio area so I could get a hookah. I was pleasantly surprised to find out there was also a dj out there- they were playing some good music and set the vibes! I just got the Sheppard salad, a drink and the hookah. The salad was sooooo good- had great flavor! I sat there for like 2 hours listening to the music, and checking my emails. The waitress was very attentive and didn't mind me sitting there. She kept checking on me and made sure I didn't need anything. At one point the manager came over and offered me an order of their bread as well as a shot! He thanked me for coming in and was very kind! I recommend this spot to grab a quick bite, bring a date or go with a group!

    First time I came here, the food, the atmosphere and the service was great! We went for a late lunch/early dinner and ended up ordering hookah and stayed until 10 pm LOL. A DJ came and started playing some GREAT music giving all the vibes. Anywho, the food: the FRUIT PLATE always hits so I always recommend that. The LAVRAKI (seabass) was great the first time we ordered it, but when we came back another time and ordered it, it was not good at all. Another item that is a hit or miss is the GRILLED OCTOPUS - sometimes cooked perfectly, sometimes overcooked. The inconsistency knocks off a star. Overall, when the food is good, the food is GREAT, but we enjoy the atmosphere the most. Will return.

    Shrimp Casserole
    E.l. J.

    Stopped by here after a movie outing. The person who recommended it said it was a good Turkish spot. Valet is $5 for your car to be parked in a lot behind the building. It's $20 to be parked in the front. On the weekend, after a certain time, it becomes a lounge type place, with security. We were able to be seated immediately. I ordered the watermelon salad, which surprisingly very good. IDK how, but it all works together. It's refreshing. Next, I ordered the shrimp casserole. Very good flavors! Served with rice. This was a hearty dish. However, I was disappointed with the size of the shrimp because the menu said Tiger shrimp. To end it I had the kanfa. omG! This is delicious and a must try! Our waitress was good. I will say another issue I had with them is that hookah can be ordered at any table and I didn't like that. Imagine you're trying to enjoy your meal and the person at the next table is blowing smoke your way. It was good to try and if you're in the area, you might like it.

    Located on Roswell road in Sandy spring so it can get a little busy. The restaurant is right on the corner so it easy to get to. They have valet parking which can vary in price. Not too many street parking available so valet would be the best option. As soon as you walk in the bar is only like 2 feet away but the place is actually very spacious. There is a inside part of the restaurant and and outside covered area with TVs and a DJ. The drinks are good but not really strong at all and the food I would have to say is some of the best I've ever had. The hookah was decent but pricey. The bathrooms wait can be a bit long because there is only 2. Overall good vibes if you are in the area. I'll definitely be back.

    Bread service
    Seema Z.

    This place was our selected spot for drinks hookah and dinner for a party of four The good - kabab portions are big, citrus mint and blue mist hookah was great, outdoor heated seating The not so good but ok - baba ghanoush, Istanbul rosso cocktail (light on alcohol), felafel The bad - hummus was mediocre at best, bread could be fresher. Music got too loud at one point. The second hookah citrus mint and guava did not taste like the flavors requested The ugly - valet is steep at 20$ for this part of town and they included gratuity at 20% for party of four.

    Entry/Bar

    Loved the vibe, calm Tuesday night. Hookah, 3 meals (one being the lamb chops), 4 cocktails and the total wasn't bad at all. There was a dj I believe or maybe not, but the music was jumping. I think there's a DJ other times. I really enjoyed my lamb chops omg and that rice was soooo good whew. They give you ALOT of food too. (Idk I didn't get a chance to do my food photography so the pics may not look like it but just trust me). My friends really enjoyed their food as well and they ALWAYS eat all of their food, they had to take the rest home, that's how much they give you! Their service was good as well, I have nothing to complain about. Valet in the actual lot $20, valet to the back $5

    Looking for a cute, classy Turkish restaurant in the heart of Virginia Highlands. This is your…read morespot! I went for happy hour which I highly recommend. It's from 3-6pm Monday through Thursday (I believe). They have $6-8 cocktails and a variety of food in the $5-10 range. The food was all fantastic, as was our waiter. He constantly checked on us, kept the complimentary bread supplied, and gave great recs for both food and cocktails. I love a waiter who explains the menu so you know what you're getting into beforehand. As we were leaving, it was torrentially down-pouring and the host was so kind to let me borrow his umbrella to get to my car. It's rare to find this level of hospitality these days and it made my already great experience here even better.

Spots I would rather recommend for a nice night out are Delbar, Rumi's, and Yalda. My friends and I tried the Muhammara Dip, the Feta Cheese Rolls (reminiscent of spanakopita but no spinach and in roll form), the Truva Dumplings, and the Iskender Kebab. The Iskender Kebab and the Muhammara were the best of the bunch, but overall I think I was expecting more punch from the spices and greater nuance in the flavors of each dish. The thing I honestly enjoyed most was the complimentary bread and sun-dried tomato dip, which has gotten a number of shoutouts of Yelp already. I would come back to this spot to get a handful of appetizers, eat that bread, and hang out for a few hours. It does seem like the restaurant needs more staffing. Everyone we saw was very kind, but it took a long time to get a server's attention whenever we needed something.

It was topped off with truffle oil and I just couldn't keep my hands off of it. I would say 10/10. I just want to point out the bill had a notice that says "tips are based on check prices after taxes" was confusing and unsure why would company charge tips on top of taxes. Our waiter was amazing so we didn't mind paying the extra but it really made us wonder about the company policy.
